Didn't you buy a built bottom end that he just needed to assemble and tune??

how many years is this build at now?

 

Second hand surprises...pulled it apart to check tolerances and such, found some poor machining he wanted to tidy up so we pulled it down and started from scratch re-using most of the components. Head was also shaved too much so replaced that re-using the same valvetrain. Block and head now assembled with cams, currently getting sump welded to suit gearbox. Once that's done it goes in the car and then the plumbing fun begins.

I delivered car to workshop at start of last year from memory.

So I could be screwed? work for an IT company that specialises in a certain profession with numerous clients, saw on seek a 'dream job' kinda thing, basically the kind of firms we look after, but being their sole IT manager internally, the next step I want to do in my career. I applied, fast forward 2 weeks my boss is meeting with the firm as a potential new client, gee I wonder how they got the idea that we existed..

So do I A: have an honest convo with my boss before they meet B: not say anything and hope it doesn't come up, (that they only found out about us because of me applying for a role?) 

inb4 do a simon and send out all staff email

Time for cheap daily?

Great, thieves tried to steal Soarer today. At this stage if you own an import and don't have insurance you're an idiot.

Starting to appreciate the middle eastern punishment for theft.

Famous insurance wouldn't insure my car any more than $15k. Considering it has a rebuilt forged Neo, rebuilt gearbox & a $3k new turbo.

Happy to pay more premium but not even an option :/

Rusted r32 gtr's are worth 4x more :(

Might have to try shannons or NRMA vintage/classic insurance

I wouldn't mention it at all. It's nobody else's concern if you apply for jobs, it only becomes their concern if you accept one.

Mother's house

Stopped by immobiliser, so another smashed ignition barrel

I'd end up in jail if I caught these lowlives doing their thing

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
